PREPARING FOR TROUBLE IN HAWAIL What is Being Said on the Pa- cific Coast. | CONFLICT OF ARMS AWAITED. VALLEJO, Cal., Nov. 15.—It is said on good authority that as soon as the United States ships Ranger and Mohican, now at Mare Island navy yard, can be made ready for sea the Secretary of ‘the Navy will order their commanders to proceed direct to Hono- lulu and report to Admiral Irwin. On their | arrival in Hawail, the Mohican will be made the flagship of the Pacific squadron, reliev- ing the Philadelphia, which will immediate- ly proceed to Mare Island navy yard. The ordering of the Ranger and the Mohican to the relief of the Philadelphia is said to be due to the fact that President Cleveland | desires to concentrate all available vessels of the Pacific suadron in Hawaiian waters, ) and the combined crews of the Ranger and Mohican would enable the landing of a larger marine force than that of the Phila- delphia. Naval dificers here are extremely cautious in commenting upon the present attitude of Hawaiian affairs, yet they do not hest- tate in predicting the concentration of a large United States naval force at Hono- lulu. Rumor Is current here that Minister Willis in going to Honolulu was the bearer of orders to Admiral Irwin from the Secretary of the Navy, directing that in the event of rejection of President Cleveland's ultimatum to the provincial government, or uprising, Admiral Irwin should dispatch the U. S. 8. Adams to the United States with any special communication Minister Willis might require to send for the information of the Washingtén authorities. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—A Boston special quotes William Brewster Oleson, who was at the head of the educational department in Honolulu for many years, in speaking of the proposed restoration of the monarchy, as follow: “Should a conflict take place in Honolulu the people of this country will realize what style of men are at the front in Hawaii. ‘They will fight. They are prepared to fight. ‘They are thoroughly organized and in part officered by men who served in the civil war in this country. Moreover, they have everything to fight for and the opponents of the constitution in Honolulu know it and can never organize against them. When the intelligence and industry of a country are pitted against a party that is seeking personal political power there can be but one result.” "" ——>___. NOT AN ATTACK ON HIM. Gen. Harrison on the New Hawatian Policy of the Government. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 15.—A United Press reporter endeavored to induce ex- President Harrison to discuss the Hawaiian question today, but the general said: “What I did is a mater of record and why shouid I now resort to an explanation or a dissertation on my official acts? Of course, the move of the present admin- istration is directly opposed to anything that I did, but it has done nothing, in my opinion, ‘which can be considered in the nature of a personal attack upon me. Con- ceding that such were the case, however, I might then decline to make answer. I don’t like to discuss public matters in any phase. Congress took cognizance of all that was done and my attitude toward the provi- sional government of Hawaii is well known.” “And you have no opinion whatever to express on the recent decision of the Cleve- land administration?’ “I repeat that it would not be wise for me to express an opinion. In due time the acts of the present administration in rela- ticn to the management of Hawaiian af- fairs will, I have no doubt, be properly and fully examined, investigated and, might say, ventilated. At that time the facts wil 1 come out and if there is any- thing to know the public will know it.” Se TRAINMEN TO BLAME. Disobedience of Orders Caused the Battle Creek Railway Horror. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Nov. 15.—After four hours’ deliberation the coroner’s jury rendered the following verdict in the Grand | Trunk railroad inquest here this morning: “We find that the said collision was caus- ed by gross disobedience of orders given by the train dispatcher, and we also find that Conductor Bertram N. Scott and Engineer Harry Wooley, on train No. 6, are guilty of criminal negligence in running past their méeting point, at which they had positive orders to stop.” The Grand Trunk company was exoner- ated from all blame in the calamity, the jury finding that it had furnished first-class | cars and all the latest improvements for safety.

The Department Wants a Uniformity Over the Country. jew Rules for the Service Being Pre- pared—Two Uniforms a Year to Be Required. First Assistant Postmaster General Frank H. Jones believes that there should be a uni- formity in the uniform of letter carriers. Section 613 of the present laws and regula- tidns provides for a uniform for letter car- riers and Mr. Jones thinks that good disci- pline requires a more strict enforcement of its provisions. Up to this time the frequency of procuring uniforms or parts thereof and the judging of their condition have been left to the discretion of the local postmaster. The result is that there is no general uni- form throughout the country. Each locality provides its own and fixes the price, which, under existing arrangements, must involve carriers in a greater expense than they would be put to if they could procure one kind of uniform both in quality and style. Considerable complaint has been made by fuse to keep themselves properly and neatly uniformed. Some have been getting but one uniform suit each year; others have pro: vided themselves with two; the former, dur- ing one-half of the year, having by no means a neat appearance; the latter always appearing on the streets well uniformed. As new uniforms, some carriers always dress in worn, faded and shabby uniforms. Two Uniforms. In order to insure uniformity, not only in the style and cut of the suits, but also in their appearance, neatness and condition, Mr. Jones is of the opinion that it should be made obligatory upon all carriers to fur- nish two uniform suits each year, one on May 1 and one on November 1, The only objection that could be raised to this sug- gestion is increased expense to carriers. Mr. Jones does not think this tenable, as under @ general contract controlled by the Post- master General Mr. Jones thinks that two good suits o fas good material as that now generally furnished, and at a price not ex- ceeding that now paid for one, could be pro- vided. 4 _ Duties Defined. The department is now compiling a set of rules and regulations defining the duties and conduct of letter carriers and regulating the treatment of mail intrusted to their care. Every carrier will be required to familiarize himself with these rules, and to keep a copy of them in his possession for handy reference. This step is deemed ad- visable for the reason that the limited num- ber of copies of the Postal Laws and Regu- lations furnished a post office will not afford carriers sufficient opportunity to become familiar with the rules and regulations pro- vided for the free delivery service. Experi- ence shows that a large majority of the errors made by letter carriers can be traced to ignorance of the laws regulating the treatment of certain mail matter and de- fining the duties of carriers. In some of the large offices special rules and regula- tions have been compiled by the postmasters. A perusal of several sets of local rules and a comparison of one set with another, show a lack of uniformity, and in some instances a direct conflict with the Postal Laws a Regulations and the special orders and in- structions issued by the Postmaster Genera:. The new rules and regulations are being carefully drafted, so that they will be in strict accord with the postal laws and the orders of the Postmaster General now in force. Provision will be made, however, for the addition, by the local postmaster, of any special rules that the conditions of his office may require, provided they do not conflict with any of the rules of the department. A_uniform set of rules for all free delivery offices will, it is thought, greatly improve | the discipline of the service and raise its standard of efficiency At Foot Ball From the Enstern—Other High School Notes. The most important game of the league series was played, yesterday afternoon at Y. M. C. A. Park between the foot ball teams from the Central and Eastern High of 18-0. There was a large representation from all of the high schools, and never be- fore in a high school foot ball game has such excitement prevailed. The Easterns have held the championship since last year, but yesterday afternoon they graciously but reluctantly forfeited it to the wearers of the dark blue. When the Easterns ar- rived at the park about on DeWitt's finest four-in-hand tally-ho the Centrals were on the field practicing for the coming contest. The game was called at 4 o'clock, when the Easterns led off with the V trick, Fugitt gaining about eight yards, and after successive downs, with but small gains, the ball passed to the Centrals. Tindall made a good run for twenty-five yard: and after short gains by Tindall and Bai nard Tindall, with fine interference on ihe part of the Centrals, succeeded in carrying the ball over the line for a touch down. Milis punted the ball out, after which a goal was kicked. Time, 10 minutes. Score, |6-0. The Easterns started off with a flying wedge, Avis gaining eighteen yards, and, the Easterns fumbling, the ball was gained by the Centrals. Within eight minutes fter the first goal Tindall again carried | the ball across the line after a brilliant run of seventy yards, from which no goal was icked. Score, 10-0. Avis again led off for i terns, and gained fourteen yards. Albert punted the ball for twenty yards, and the ball went to the Centrals. ‘Tindall gain got his hands on the ball, and after | @ run good for eighty yards scored a touch down within six minutes, from which no goal was kicked. Score,’ 14-0. Fugitt led off with twenty yards for the Easterns, and Avis made two successive runs of ten yards each, when time for the close of the first half was called. _The second halt was far more exciting than the first, the ball hovering around the center nearly all the time. Barnard led | off for the Centrals with a gain of tweive | yards. Luttrell in trying to pass the ball fumbled, and Grant fell on it. Fugitt went through the center for several yards, after | which the Centrais regained the ball, and | Brawner kicked drop good for thirty |yards. Avis, Fugitt and | short gains, after whic! | ball for twenty y | by Mills, and Grant | fumbled the ball, |for the Centrals. Barnard, ‘Tindall and Brawner Barnard cored touch down.

The features of the game were the excel- lent running of Lindall and Barna:d, and tackling of Exley and Keys, for the ¢ ‘en- trals, and running of Fugitt and Avis, and tackling of McKinley and Meiggs for the Easterns. The Centrals played a very slow game, while the Easterns were very poor in thei> interference. The best of feeling pre- vailed during the game, and but slight in- juries were received by any of the players. When the Easterns departed on the Tally- Ho, they were loudly cheered by the Cen- trals, who, in turn, were cheered by the former victors. Preparations were made at the Eastern, yesterday afternoon, for the Christmas en- tertainment, it being decided to have, in connection with other features, several scenes from Shakespeaze’s two comedies, “Twelfth Night’ and “Much Ado About Nothing.” ‘The characters, as assigned, were, for “Twelfth Night,” Mr. Albert, Malvolio; Mr. Foster, Toby Belch, and Miss Eichelberger, M and for “Much Ado About Nothing Miss Irwin, Hero; Miss Erly, Beatrice; Mr. Etz, Leonatio; Mr. Leonard, Don Pedro; Mr. Fitzpatrick, Claudio; and Mr. Floyd, Benedict.

Important Recommendations Made in Captain Derby’s Report. INCREASING THE WATER SUPPLY. Urging the Completion of the Sewer System, THE CITY POORLY LIGHTED. | Capt. George McDerby, the assistant to | the Engineer Commissioner in charge of the | departments of water, light and sewers, | made his first annual report to Engineer | Commissioner Powell today. He takes oc- casion to again urge strongly that pro- vision be made for carrying out the plans for sewering the city made by the board of sanitary experts. He also recommends that some means be adopted for increasing the water supply, and urges an appropriation which will enable the Commissioners to improve the lighting of the city. An account is given of the improvements ater system. To carry out the purposes of the act of June 14, 1892, providing for the | extension of the high service system a site has been purchased for a pumping station near the distributing reservior above | Georgetown. Surveys and examinations have been made and a project for begin- nig the work has been submitted and has received the approval of the Engineer Com- missioner. It is estimated that the neces- ‘sary land, buildings, pumps, mains and reservoirs that will be required to make up the high service system will cost in the near future about $600,000. It has been de- cided to expend the $205,469.69 now avatlable |in constructing a reservoir at Fort Reno, | the highest point in the District, installing |@ new pump at the U street pumping s tion and laying mains to supply various districts. ‘To Increase the Water Supply. The report calls attention to the fact that with the rapid increase in the development of the distributing system the large supply mains have been overtaxed and the service in many places is inadequate. “In my judgment,” Capt. Derby says, ‘steps toward securing an Increase in the Water supply are urgently needed. There is not only a necessity for additions’ means of bringing water from the distributing reservoir to the city, but also for an in- crease in the supply to the reservoir; as stated in the annual report of the chief of engineers for 1891, this icreased supply can be obtained by raising the dam at Great | Falls at an expense of $102,691. I would recommend that appropriation for this work | be added to the estimates, even if the cost of it must be met from the annual reve- hues, though it would be still better if this cost coull be provided from the unexpended balance of the credit of the increase of the water supply, provided for in the act of July 15, 1892."" | Only fourteen new meters have been put in during the year. Capt. Derby recom- mends that all manufacturing establish- | ments, hotels and livery stables be required | to use them. In-giving an account of the work of the sewer department the report expresses ap- proval of the bill now pending in Congress providing means for carrying into effect section 19 of the act of June 11, 1878, which _Tequires that sewers, water mains and con- nections therewith shall be laid before the | streets are paved. Attention is called to the fact that the sewer constructed by hired labor has cost somewhat less than contract work, and is on the whole of better quality. A statement is made of the efforts | of the office to break up the combination | among bidders for sewer work, which re- | sulted in the purchase of materials during the year at a considerable saving. | A Bond Issue Proposed. In referring to the estimates for the sewer department for the next fiscal year, includ- ing the sum of $4,500,000 for continuing and | completing the system of sewage disposal | and protection against floods, designed by the board of sanitary engineers in 1891, the report say: “In submitting these estimates for the sewer department for the coming year,” says the report, manifestly not practicable to supply these | funds from the annual revenue of the | trict; nor, in my judgment, is it desirable to |do so. I believe that the District should | provide its half of the necessary funds for | the last two items (the work of carrying out the sewer project) by borrowing the money mn sewer bonds. |_“The board of sanitary engineers of 1801 | made a most exhaustive study of the re- | quirements of the District for sewage dis- posal and flood protection and submitted an admirable report, recommending a project estimated to cost which must be increased to about ‘on account of g made during the year in the high service } “I am aware that it is! ! the eight-hour law, passed since the esti- | | mate was made, and to provide for certain sewers which form part of the project, but were not included in the estimate. | “Congress has expressed its approval of this plan by appropriating the sum of $9,- | 000 to begin the work, and this is probably | about as much as can well be spared from | the annual revenues. | But at the rate of $9,000 a year, it will | take fifty vears to complete the work. Now | I submit that this is absolutely impossible; | we may stave off the construction of the | necessary work one year, two years, or | five years, at the risk of an epidemic and | of having all the low district of the city flooded again as it was in 1889; but it re- quires no other argument than a_ single visit to the James creek canal (corner of | South Capitol and G streets), or to the head | of the 17th street outlet canal (ith street and Virginia avenue), to convince the most Kkeptical that it is absolutely impossible to continue to maintain these open cesspools, | Can't we have more room?” miles in extent,in the heart of this growing city, for any such period as fifty years; and we must bear in mind that in ail the long chain of works that the project of th board of sanitary engineers provides for, | the closure of these two open drains is by: | force of circumstances the very last link. ; Finally, as an economic question, it should be observed that the work can not be con- structed piece meal for the same amount | Place is responsible for the following state- of money that would build it, if made avail-| ment in regard to the Hawaiian situation: abie so as to admit of the work being un- dertaken in the most advantageous man- ner; and the circumstances of the problem are such that the required works constitute ; Teach the throne again.

Derby | Says the streets of this city are difticult to light, owing to the great number of streets planed on the curb line. Experi- ments are in progress looking to a change in the type of lamp posts and lanterns to obviate this difficulty as far as possible. An increase of $41,000 is asked in the appro- priation for street lighting because it is not | believed that the existing service is satis- | factory. Nearly all of the streets are but dimly lighted. Many of them are not light- ed at all, many thickly inhabited alleys are entirely without light, and it is generally ing department was free from its precari- ous partnership with the moon, —— WRECK OF THE BOOTH, Remains of the Schooner Found 0@ South Carolina, The wreck of the schooner Oliver H. Booth has been discovered fourteen miles from Georgetown, S. C. The Booth sailed from Brunswick, Ga., on August 12, with lumber to Johnson and Wimsatt of this city. She was suspected by the health authorities of the District with having yellow fever on board, and a close watch during three weeks was kept for her. When she fell overdue, it was thought that she had gone down in the August cyclone. On September a quarterboard with the name Booth on | Was accepted as confirmation of the belief that she had been lost.

West- DISSATISFIED | DEMOCRATS Getting Ready to Dump the Administra- tion When Congress Meets. Pen m Policy to Be Attacked— Threatening to Kick Over the Tariff Traces, &c. There is a great deal of talk among dem- ocratic Congressmen about dumping the administration and there is a prospect that very soon after Congress meets there will be an attack on Mr. Cleveland all along the line. The result of the elections has worked wonders in the way of loosening the | tongues of dissatisfied democrats. If their courage does not ooze out before Congress meets the prospects are that there will be an interesting session. Rep cans, Too, Speak Their Mind. The republicans have a good many things to talk about which may prove interesting, though not comforting, to the administra- tion, and being relieved now from any fear of the evil effect of partisan expressions they will probably speak their minds. There are three or four lines of attack which dem- ocrats expect to make on the administra- tion in order to load upon it the responsi- bility for the recent republican victory and to put themselves squarely with some of their dissatisfied constituents against the future. To Attack the Pension Policy. The pension policy of the administration will be attacked by democrats in several quarters. On the tariff a* large number of democrats are threatening to kick over the traces. On the question of patronage the administration will be attacked all along the line for buncombe and a great many democrats threaten to be unsparing in their criticism of the action of Gresham in the Hawatian matter. Financial Measures Not Agreed Upon. Besides this, a free coinage bill is to be reported from the committee on coinage, weights and measures and there will be two reports from the committee on bank- ing and currency on the subject of the re- peal of the state bank tax. The majority report will probably be in favor of repeal and be sustained by the administration, and the indications are that it will feated in the House. lee YS a’ ICTORIA CALLS, QUEEN She Was at the White House Today to See the Presiden Either Qeen Victoria or a female repre- sentative of her majesty called at the White House this morning to see the President, or else the lady did not tell the truth.

With her was a small blank- eted dog, and when the two policement at the White House entrance objected to his entrance there was an exhibition of queenly rage. “I wish to see the President,” said the visitor. “He's not in town,” said one of the po- licemen. ‘Pardon me,” said the lady, “but the newspapers state that he has moved in from his country estate.” “But he’s not here today,” was the an- swer. The visitor was obviously not satisfied with this statement, but after a moment of hesitation she moved toward the door, outside which the little dog was shivering, and paused for a minute on the threshold. “You may tell the President,” she said, in the most approved tones of queenly hauteur, “that I have been here. Tell him that Queen Victoria called, and that she will continue to call daily until she gains an audience,” and the titled woman whisk- ed away. One of the astonished policemen said that “a representative of Queen Victoria” was the title given,, but the other contend- ed that the woman was the queen herself, and the question of identity will remain unsettled until the noble lady calls again. The police are “after her,” and it is not likely she will be able to repeat the visit. ———— MORE ROOM WANTED. A Patent Office Official Says the Bur- eau is Cramped. “The patent office demands more room. The proper conduct of the patent business demands it. The patent office should either have complete possession of its own build- ing, or it should have a new one.” Thus spoke a prominent patent official this after- noon to a reporter for The Star. “The patent office is not a mendicant institution. It is a self-respecting and self-supporting bureau. It has over four million dollars to | its credit in the United States treasury, and has made this by conducting a business which has wrought miracles in the promo- tion of human happiness and comfort. The twaddle about no land, no eligible site, economical administration, &c., is weari- some. The patent people want light, air, room. They must have it. See the letter of Col. John M. Wilson, chief of engineers, U.S. A., to William C.’Endicott, Secretary of War, bearing date of February 19, 1889. In that letter, Col. Wilson states, that such examinations as his duties had led him into | showed him that there was a vast amount of land within the limits of the city of Washington, held by private parties, which legally belonged to the general government, and for which no deeds of transfer of title have ever been.executed by the United States. Then, the report of Mr. John Stewart to Col. Wilson, showed that there were twenty entire squares and 2,001 other lots, now claimed by other parties. to which, as far as can be shown by our records, the United States still has legal title. Why ————__+- WHAT A HAWAIIAN THINKS. The Co: I General at San Francisco Talks on the uation. According to a dispatch from San Fran- cisco, the Hawaiian ‘consul general at that “Uncle Sam may restore Liliuokalani by force, but that is the only way she can the United States government will have to maintain her on the throne by force. The provisional government is strong enough to maintain control of the islands unless the United States should interfere. Of course, it would not fight the United States, but if this government should inter- fere to restore the deposed queen, she would be deposed again as soon as the force was withdrawn, The letter of Secretary Gresh- am is dated October 18. This was two days prior to the departure of Minister Willis to Hawaii. It would seem that our minister at Washington, Mr. Thurston, should have been notified at the same time, but he was not. The Hawaiians believe that the royal- ists have had information that was inac- cessible to those of us who favor annexa- tion. Liiiuokalani has said all alomg that she would be restored by the American gov- ernment, She has told her supporters to have no fear, as the Washington govern- ment would certainly place her back on the throne. “Secretary Gresham has been misinformed on several points,” continued the consul Seneral. “Minister Stevens acted on pre- cisely the same instructions which the American minister during Mr, Cleveland’s first term of office received. That fact is susceptible of proof. Minister Stevens only did what President Cleveland himself, dur- ing his first. administration, ordered the American minister to do, if certain contin- gencies should arise. The landing of the marines from the Boston was not necessary to the success of the revolution. The revolt Was a success long before they were land- ed. It was some time after landing before they were quartered in the building to which Secretary Gresham refers, and they were sent there because it was the only building which was suitable.
